Burner Grates

Porcelain enamel
burner grates should
be washed regularly
and, of course, after
in hot, soapy water and
rinse with clean water.
You may also use abrasive cleaners and steel wool
pads to clean burner grates. Dry the grates with a
cloth—don't put them back on the range wet.
When replacing the grates, be sure they're positioned

water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a
soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel–they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier
cleaning. Before removing the knobs for cleaning,
please note that the knobs on the left side and the
knobs on the right side are in the proper OFF position.
When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to
insure proper alignment.

Cooktop Glass

To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any
spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning
on and becoming more difficult to remove.
As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass
surface with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy
water; rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft
cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent.
Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads,
cleansing powder and soap filled pads—they may
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh chemicals such
as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.
For streaks or spotting, you may find it helpful to
rinse glass with white vinegar or a fifty percent white
vinegar/water solution.

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates
in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup
ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash,
rinse well, and dry.
Although they're durable, the grates will gradually
lose their shine, rewu-dless of the best care you can
give them. This is ~ue to their continual exposure to
high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period
of time without cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb
the
heat.
To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If a
knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a
handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around
the knob edge and pull up.
Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water into the knob stem holes.
